Wahoo! I uploaded it on my chromebook. Found a hotspot. **WHEW**
Now...onto the damned solo cup balance challenge and building relationships. I didn't really talk about my strategy. Here's what I thought about last night. Random thoughts....
At this point I'm on my own. I can not rely on anyone. Dak wants to check in, but I think he'd turn on me. I wouldn't blame him. That's what I may need to do.
If I'm looking at final tribal...who would I want sitting next to me? Who would I need on the jury who would vote for me & why would they vote for me?
Options to sit beside me @ftc? Who can I win against? Jeffrey, Warren, Mel I do not feel they are changing their game. I also feel as if they may not have the connections they need for people to vote for them.
ON JURY - I need Jake on jury. I do not want to sit next to him. He's a social and strategic threat. -I need Catie on jury. I've had some decent and transparent convos with her the last couple of rounds. She was emotional last night, she allowed me to talk with her and her husband about life (hunting, fishing, hard times last year w/kids). She was vunerable. I will never use that against her...but, for her to share that with me...I want to say I trust her for awhile. - Albie needs to be on jury. I still think he has way too much power. People see him as confident and want to be around that. They know he's a threat, so they will kiss up to him and believe he's trying to protect them. Ohhhh people...wake up.
Everyone else...I'm in there air. I need to put on my mask. Start acting. Play for me and not stay as loyal. I won All Stars 3 (Brobst game) by adapting at merge when I re entered the game from redemption island. I navigated the waters, was on the wrong side with some votes...and played selfishly. That's not my normal way. I'm a loyal person. BUT....when my back is against the way....guess what? Momma May's claws are out. Don't screw with me. Too many of the guys feel too comfortable. 2 rounds ago, I mentioned to Catherine about a female alliance (that went no where). Could I pull it off with Mel & Catie? Probably not.I think Mel likes being safe with Albie & Jake....that's why neither of them can get to the end. THEY ARE THREATS. But, I NEED Jake right now. I do not need Albie. I'd LOVE TO SEE HIM GONE SOONER THAN LATER. I think he needs some humble pie. Jury would do that for him.
Before yesterday, I was playing to have fun and meet people and the goal was to get to jury. I've done all those things. Now, as an underdog...I want more. Selfish? A little? Driven? YEP. I like competition. I do not like to lose.
Let's see where this take me.
Get ready to hand over that Pro $400 to me. #prostimuluscheck
DID I SPILL ENOUGH TEA?

Did I just make a deal with the devil?
Albie...had a good talk with him. "Explained" my frustration at tribal and pinned it to everyone being so vague with their information me. Explained I understood about sticking with alliances or voting blocks, but not sharing anything with some people or waiting to the final moments to vote, is not good. Especially if those people wind up on jury. It's not good jury management.
I shared my concern & frustration about Catherine....he wants her out this round or next round...AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT HE'S TELLING ME. Is he telling me what I want to hear, or telling me because he really wants her gone? Hmmm...either way, I threw out the idea that anyone who would keep her towards the end, I'm not sure is good strategy. Jury would be upset to keep someone around that wants "updates" without putting work into the game. He thinks she, Warren & Nick are tight.
I shared I thought Mel was closer with Jake than him, he seemed surprised by that. He informed me that he was surprised that Mel was torn between him and Dak at tribal and it was "telling" that she defending him. He said Mel plays with her emotions. Which she does...because she's loyal. I get her and respect that.
I played the card. I acted (I mean it was true information, I just embellished it a little). I told him that I'm out of town. I made that conscience decision to show "trust" with him,....but, also to see where it goes. If someone comes back to me about it...I know where it came from. I informed him that Dak, Jeffrey & Rory came to me after the fact about throwing Nicks name....just gave me more reason to tell him everyone is waiting to talk to me. I'll play the martyr....poor me.... heh heh "please don;t get rid of me this round." Everytime I go out of town, people vote me out...I'm asking you to keep me. I made him feel like HE had control of this vote. Compliment him, pat him on the pack, tell him he's the kind of person I've been wanting to work with.
I respect Albie, he's a heck of a player. He's a strategist. I need him and I want him to think he needs me. He also shared he thinks Jeffrey is not playing well right now. He didn't think Jeffrey made the right decision to call out Mel at Tribal the other night.
At the end of conversation...he said I won;t vote you out this round and when the round is over, I'd like to talk to you about a F5. I stayed calm, cool and collected. and said "I'd like that too.". Tell him what he wants to hear.
I'm actually trying to put off Dak,for now.
Jeffrey isn't around due to family matters. I want him to stay, not sure that will happen.
For the record, I think I went out on the final 10. I need to do better this season. Trying to work under the radar to make a better position.
